I'm no subject matter experts (contrary to you), we are translators
observering potential (!) incorrect statements.
In another bug report one or two years ago, the last remaining lilo
"maintainer" told me the project is *dead* and he is just the last one
answering e-mails. And some distros stopped shipping lilo already; I
personally haven't used it for decades.
I don't know much about the boot loader from systemd. I basically just
translated the man page systemd-boot(7).
Having said this, the most straigtforward fix could be:
either B<lilo>(8) or B<grub>(8) → B<grub>(8)
Or you could additionally add more content:
Other boot loaders exist, like B<systemd-boot>(7) and the
old B<lilo>(8).
Greetings
Helge
